Celebrating Everyday Leadership
World Quality Day 2017
Quality professionals at all levels display leadership behaviours – from advocating why quality is important to using fact-based thinking to help businesses balance conflicting objectives and targets.
This year, we are celebrating everyday leaders who exhibit the values of the quality profession – a clarity of purpose, a focus on stakeholders, a commitment to do things properly and to objectively evaluate outcomes, along with a passion for continuous improvement.

World Quality Day (#WQD17) is your opportunity to celebrate the achievements of your team and organisation, and recognise those that demonstrate leadership to sustain and improve performance every day of the year.
